Editorial Reviews

"Ms Conover provides a remarkably cogent overview
of transgenderism, including surprising - and welcome - depth
in areas of history and politics. This is a work of high quality
that should serve as an effective aid to those considering the
intersection of transgender and religious issues." - Nancy
Nangeroni former Executive Director, International Foundation
for Gender Education

"To those who have dismissed, trivialized, or condemned,
transgender experience as pathological, unnatural, or sinful,
Transgender Good News presents formidable challenges from a first
rate sociological and theological mind. To everyone still imprisoned
by bi-polar gender assumptions, this book is a powerful corrective.
To those in the fragmented, mostly hidden transgender community,
this book bears the Gospel's good news of liberation. In short,
out of her own experience, research, and exploration, Pat Conover
has given us a stunning piece of work that will set the standard
for the church's virtually unaddressed issue." - James
B. Nelson Professor Emeritus of Christian Ethics, United
Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and author of Embodiment
and Between Two Gardens.
